We are both very tired of giving money to republicans that vote against the core values of the party.
I was listen to Rush the other day when he was talking about the Tea Party on 9/12. He sounded scared that this would lead to an abandonment of the GOP for a new party. I hope the GOP leadership gets the point that we are not happy with their performance and we will be making changes 2010. I hope every RINO gets a real conservative challenger in a primary. Time to clean house and get in some fresh blood.

I hope you and your neighbors are doing everything in your power to make this happen in your district and state. Don’t wait for party “leaders” to select these challengers, go find them for yourselves. And I don’t just mean for federal Congressional and Senate seats, but for state and local races as well.
I’m not certain whether the Republican party can be saved, but I am certain that the current leadership won’t save it. It will have to be saved from the grass roots up. And the national money machine could oppose the changes that are sorely needed.
Ultimately, the party membership, the rank and file get to decide what the party stands for. Or they get to choose an alternate party that stands in line with their own values and priorities. The question is, can the Republican party be saved now? Or is it time to move on to a new conservative party?
No matter which way it goes, the time to act is now, not later. The 2010 election cycle is an opportunity that won’t repeat itself any time soon. There is widespread discontent, and a “Throw all the bums out” attitude in the electorate that isn’t usually this strong.
